NRC ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS TO MEET IN ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND, JUNE 3-5

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards
(ACRS) has scheduled a technical meeting June 3-5 in Rockville, Maryland.

The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held in Conference Room 2B3 in the

process. The ACRS, an advisory group to the Commission, conducts independent,
highly technical reviews of safety considerations related to nuclear facilities. While
anyone may attend, the committee will consider only oral or written statements
arranged in advance and limited to specific matters set forth in a Notice of Meeting
published in an upcoming edition of the Federal Register.

The meeting may include closed sessions, if required, to discuss proprietary or
personnel information.
